After his directorial debut Run, Fatboy, Run, David Schwimmer has gotten into more serious territory with his dramatic online predator thriller Trust. There was an initial promo trailer for its Toronto International Film Festival premiere, but now we have the first theatrical one. Schwimmer has unsuccesfully battled the R-rating for the film, given by the MPAA. Written by Andy Bellin and Robert Festinger, the film stars Clive Owen, Catherine Keener, Jason Clarke, Liana Liberato, and Viola Davis. Apple has the trailer and poster (which we previously posted) below.
Synopsis: A suburban family is torn apart when 14-year-old Annie (Liana Liberato) meets her first boyfriend online. After months of communicating via online chat and phone, Annie discovers her friend is not who he originally claimed to be. Shocked into disbelief, her parents (Clive Owen and Catherine Keener) are shattered by their daughter’s actions and struggle to support her as she comes to terms with what has happened to her once innocent life.
Trust hits theaters April 1st, 2011.
